Insider is a little too propagandist for me now that WOTC took over. I was annoyed at thier little self congratulatory article about the new TCG, as if Decipher had never even been in the picture. We are not fooled, WOTC! And I never read truly intelligent mail anymore, they find the most basic, pandering letter and then make snide comments about either the writer or the subject matter. You should be thankful your letter wasn't printed. Half of their articles are some attempt to get you to pick up their SW gaming magazine which has the sole purpose of trying to get you interested in their WOTC role playing game. I remember when fan magazines were about the fans and not about some corporate agenda to sell games and cards.

I haven't been a subscriber/fan club memeber since the SE, and I haven't bought an issue of the insider since WOTC took over. Qutie frankly, the magazine hasn't even been worth the glances I take when I'm at my local comic book store.

Rollo hit it right on the mark. All they do is praise Lucas and themselves. The Jawa trader is non-existant at this point, and the magazine seems to be one big advertisement. There are more ads in the new issues than there are actual pages of articles it seems.

You give the rights to publish a fan magazine from an actual fan based organization to a company. And then they took the license away from Decipher and gave it to WOTC, did anyone not see that one coming?

Its all about profits and self-promotion these days.
